This is a great post<\/a> that contains insights on how our brain works, how we fit into society, and stereotypes:<\/p>\n

It’s simply the way our brains are built. We each have a certain circle of people who we think of as people. Usually it’s our own friends and family and neighbors and classmates and coworkers (or at least the ones in your department) and church or suicide cult.<\/p>\n

This is literally the reason society doesn’t work quite right. The people who exist outside that core group of a few dozen people are not people to us. They’re sort of one-dimensional bit characters.<\/p>\n
